let's take this all the way into left field with some more procmail
advice...
# Create a backup cache of 50 most recent messages in case of mistakes
LOGABSTRACT=no
:0 c
$PMSRC/backupmail
:0 ci
| cd $PMSRC/backupmail && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,50d`

# Anti-spam measures.
# SpamAssassin rule
# The condition line ensures that only messages smaller than 250 kB
# (250 * 1024 = 256000 bytes) are processed by SpamAssassin. Most spam
# isn't bigger than a few k and working with big messages can bring
# SpamAssassin to its knees.
# Sourceforge and some other sites have started to run SpamAssassin on
# their own mail, so this rule lets us skip re-running it here.

* < 256000
* !^X-Spam-Flag: YES
| /usr/bin/spamc

# Mails with a score of 15 or higher are almost certainly spam (with 0
# false positives according to rules/STATISTICS.txt). Let's put them i
# safe place, like /dev/null
# After a few days, I'm adjusting this down to 10.
